01 / CAPABILITIES

Let’s find the right way
to make it.

Complex geometry, a design that needs another look, or a part ready for production.

01

CNC milling

3-axis and 5-axis milling for prototypes and complex geometries. Machining planned around your design and manufacturing requirements.

Discuss a milling project
02

Automated production

24/7 lights-out 5-axis machining with automated pallet handling. Keep production moving around the clock, from repeat runs to ongoing part requirements.

Discuss your production needs
03

Wire EDM

A complementary process for intricate profiles and fine features. Share your drawing and we’ll review how EDM fits your part.

Discuss an EDM project
04

Design for manufacturing

Practical design feedback before machining. Review geometry, features, and requirements to identify manufacturability improvements before your part reaches the shop floor.

Talk through your design
05

CAD/CAM

  • hyperMILL CAD/CAM
  • SOLIDWORKS CAD
06

Finishing

  • Bead blasting
  • Ultrasonic cleaning
  • Centrifugal magnetic finishing
  • Anodizing and coating partners
07

Measurement & inspection

Optical and touch-probe CMM capabilities supported by precision measuring hand tools including micrometers, gage blocks, and thread gages.

02 / OUR APPROACH

Good machining
starts with a
conversation.

You bring the design and the requirements. We bring hands-on machining experience and practical feedback on how to make it.

Start a conversation
01

Show us what you’re building.

Email your CAD, drawing, quantity, material, and target date to info@machinistlab.com. We’ll review the requirements with you.

02

Work through the details.

We discuss the manufacturing approach, identify questions, and offer DFM feedback where it can help.

03

Move from design to parts.

From prototype machining to repeat production, we plan the process around your part.

03 / THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE PARTS
